⛰🌁 March 20th, SF distancing day four. Ran up to Tank Hill for the clearest views. Distant sights like Mount Tam and the Marin Headlands had sharper outlines, and crisper more colorful features. Even the Golden Gate Bridge seemed to shine a brighter reddish orange(1). To the Southeast, a clear view of the bay itself, including tiny tankers, cargo ships, and the white outline of the idling Grand Princess cruise ship parked in the bay, behind bright views of city neighborhoods(2). Only a couple of others were up at Tank Hill park that day, observing distancing requirements in addition to the views(3). Stopped by Haight Street Market for more supplies, noticed that they had suspended all self-serve food options(4), including their delicious soups(5). The cafe’s tip jar choices reflected reactions to only a few days of sheltering at home(6). The day before (Thursday) the Governor of California had essentially replicated Monday’s San Francisco shelter-in-place order for the entire state, the first state to do so, which the Chronicle reported in large type(7). The New York Times exclaimed in all caps: DOCTORS SOUND ALARM AS A NATION STRUGGLES above a map of the United States, with numbers of cases and proportionate red circles(8). Later that day, Connecticut, Illinois, and New York states issued their own shelter-in-place orders. It would take two more weeks for most other states to follow suit. #run #runner #TankHill #TankHillPark #view #views #HaightStreetMarket #GussMarket #HSMCafe #newspaper #newspapers #sign #ShelterInPlace #COVID19 #CoronaVirus #SFdistancing #SF #SanFrancisco #optOutside #fromWhereIRun #NeverStopExploring #InstaRunner #2020_080 #20200320 #laterGram #noFilter

Blue skies with white puffy clouds in the distance over a clear view of Mount Tam, the Marin Headlands, Golden Gate Bridge all in the distance, Golden Gate park and surrounding neighborhoods down below.

Blue skies with a small band of low hanging white puffy clouds in the distance over a clear view of East Bay mountains, the bay itself with tiny boats & ships, Bernal Heights Park, many San Francisco neighborhoods, and the green grass & a few bushes nearby from the side of Tank Hill Park.

Northward view of Tank Hill Park with Marin hills, Golden Gate bridge, and Angel Island in the distance, largerocks and the bench at Tank Hill park in the foreground with one woman at each.

Orange printed sign apologizing for the temporary suspension of self service food options at Haight Street Market, place on top of the sneeze shield over an empty salad bar.

Empty soup bar with soup containers removed and counter wiped clean at Haight Street Market.

Tipping sign and two jars, one labeled Losing My Mind and the other Learning A New Hobby, each with a dollar inside, with a small Grumpy Cat stuffed doll in front of them wearing a small red pin saying Try Smile Therapy, all sitting on top of a professional espresso machine inside Haight Street Market.

New York Times newspaper front page above the fold on March 20th, 2020 with all capitals headline DOCTORS SOUND ALARM AS A NATION STRUGGLES above a map of the United States, each state labeled with its number of cases, red circles around cities proportionate to their numbers, and a red exponentially increasing bar chart of new national cases each day from 5 on February 28th to 3,045 on March 19th.
